UNESCO has established an
annual World Press Freedom Prize, the UNESCO/Guillermo CANO Prize, in honor
of the Colombian journalist who was killed ten years ago in front of his
newspaper building. This annual $25,000 prize is intended to honor a person,
organization or institution that has made a notable contribution to the
defence of, or promotion of, freedom of the press anywhere in the world.
The UNESCO Advisory
Group for Press Freedom is responsible for pre-selecting candidates,
announcing and awarding the winner at a formal ceremony taking place every
3 May at UNESCO Headquarters or elsewhere in the world.
